Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Gazing through the window at the world outside
– Ukubuka ngefasitela ezweni elingaphandle
Wondering will mother earth survive
– Ezibuza ingabe umama womhlaba uyosinda
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime
– Ngethemba lokuthi isintu siyoyeka ukumhlukumeza esikhathini esithile
After all, there’s only just the two of us
– Phela, kunababili kuphela kithi
And here we are still fighting for our lives
– Futhi lapha sisalwela ukuphila kwethu
Watching all of history repeat itself time after time
– Ukubuka wonke umlando uziphindaphinda ngokuphindaphindiwe
I’m just a dreamer
– Ngingumphuphi nje
I dream my life away
– Ngiphupha ukuphila kwami kude
I’m just a dreamer
– Ngingumphuphi nje
Who dreams of better days
– Ubani ophupha ngezinsuku ezingcono
I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
– Ngibuka ilanga lishona njengabo bonke kithi
I’m hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
– Ngithemba ukuthi ukusa kuzoletha isibonakaliso
A better place for those who will come after us this time
– Indawo engcono kulabo abayofika emva kwethu kulokhu
I’m just a dreamer
– Ngingumphuphi nje
I dream my life away, oh yeah
– Ngiphupha ukuphila kwami kude, yebo
I’m just a dreamer
– Ngingumphuphi nje
Who dreams of better days
– Ubani ophupha ngezinsuku ezingcono
Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
– Amandla akho aphakeme angase Abe Unkulunkulu Noma Ujesu kristu
It doesn’t really matter much to me
– Akunandaba ngempela kimi
Without each other’s help there ain’t no hope for us
– Ngaphandle kosizo lomunye nomunye alikho ithemba ngathi
I’m living in a dream of fantasy, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
– Ngiphila ephusheni lamaphupho, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
If only we could all just find serenity
– Ukube nje sonke besingathola ukuthula
It would be nice if we could live as one
– Kungaba kuhle uma singaphila njengenye
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?
– Ingabe yonke le ntukuthelo, inzondo nokucwasa kuyophela nini?
I’m just a dreamer
– Ngingumphuphi nje
I dream my life away, today
– Ngiphupha ukuphila kwami kude, namuhla
I’m just a dreamer
– Ngingumphuphi nje
Who dreams of better days, okay
– Ubani ophupha ngezinsuku ezingcono, kulungile
I’m just a dreamer
– Ngingumphuphi nje
Who’s searching for the way, today
– Ubani ofuna indlela, namuhla
I’m just a dreamer
– Ngingumphuphi nje
Dreaming my life away, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
– Ukuphupha ukuphila kwami kude, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
